oops!

so, in my previous post, i said that we went to boise last weekend..so, this is the story behind that trip....on wednesday, larene, kerry and i drove down to the airport...i was driving....we pulled up to the curb of the airport...my car has an automatic car lock button...i pushed it so we could all get out....larene hopped out and went to open the backend...as i was getting out and shutting the door...larene said, it won't open...sooooo, kerry pushed the button again...BUT, that locked all the doors!!! uhoh!!! the car was locked, no extra key...and the car was running....the curbside checkin guy came, the president of american airlines was walking by and tried to help, cops came....no go...the doors were not going to open...i called triple a...after 1/2 hour the guy showed up...in the meantime the curb guy checked us in, and was giving us a running time of how long we had left before missing the flight....while waiting i also called land rover...asking if they had an 'onstar' type option...no luck...and...they said, you will not be able to unlock the doors....so the triple a guy tried....no luck...the curb guy is saying 2 min...so, i'm saying...break the window! so 3 tries later....a shatter and glass everywhere...kerry reached in and unlocked the door...we grabbed our bags...kerry was sent straight to land rover...we ran to security, begged to be put front of the line...and ran for the gate....and...we made it!!! what a way to start a trip!
